What was your last digital photography related purchase?

[David Brown]

Upgraded my Topaz apps just this morning.

I really broke down and bought the farm.

Tired of worrying about film on international travel--airport inspection and/or causing family and friends to wait for me during travel to buy or mail back home--I just bought a used HB 907x 50c with the 45p and 30XCD lenses for a terrific price (nothing like the new model to drive down prices of the old one). I have to say, I really love it. And I tell myself I'll also use it with my 500 c/m. Like the film Blad, it is a thing of beauty.

I bought an iPhone 4s for the grainy retro digital nostalgia and a Tominon-Hitachi 25mm c-mount lens.

And an Aires 8cm tele attachment for my Aires H Coral 4.5cm 1.9 lens (a la Toby Marshall's posts about this pretty spectacular bokeh lens) but it doesn't fit. Somehow got the wrong one.

Last year purchased a used canon eos r to replace my aging 5dmkii and to try mirroless out. Also bought and sold a nikon d3400 with kit lens and a sony nex5 with kit lens. Bought a sony a6000 with kit lens for a small, travel/lighweight hiker mirroless digital. I am still primarily a film shooter though.

I bought an Infrared converted 720nm Nikon D80. Entry level to try out infrared photography.

KEH exchanged my Nikon MB-N11 Multi Battery Power Pack for Nikon Z6 II, Z7 II (Dual Battery Slots/2X EN-EL15 Series Batteries) with a free replacement since the battery LED light would not turn on.

Another 4,000 WS Norman power pack for $135 delivered. How do you say no to that?

More Ink for my P800 printer.

I purchased, for the first time LightRoom and PhotoShop with a monthly rental. I have gotten comfortable with LightRoom, but barely scratched the surface of it. I am starting to venture in PhotoShop. Should I leave this 24mm photograph of the Lafayette Cemetery #1 as is or use PhotoShop? I see the use of the lens imparts the available area to work in. Thoughs?

I had to sit down to catch my breath. I think this is actually the first image I've ever seen from you.
I think you should leave it alone. I mean, what else could you do in PS? Sharpen it a bit more?

Taking out the distortion and normalizing the image would, I my opinion eliminate the tension from the restricted environment the image existed in. I am strongly tempted to leave it as it is.

It probably would have been better to post this image in the Digital Editing forum, if we are going to discuss the image, rather than your purchase of editing software...

I have not problem moving it for operational efficiency. I have two more photographs will slightly better images, but the quandary is the same.

I bought a pristine Nikon D2x awhile back that has less than 14,000 actuations.

I recently acquired a used Nikon Coolpix A900. It has a 35X optical zoom f3.5-f6.9 which I've already found handy to make out distant objects clearly. Compared to some of my newer p/s digicams its achingly slow to boot-up but the long zoom opens possibilities my Canon Powershot G's lack. The tilting screen is a design tour de force but appears fragile. We shall see how it works out.

Just bought a D600 with 78k shutter count from Green Mountain Camera, after 20 yrs using FX lenses on DX bodies trying out FX

 

[Mal Paso]

Ordered a used Nikkor 200-500 f5.6 as it will fit my D810 and Z7ii. I got tired of waiting for the Z 160-600 and figured this was close enough. I could have used it last week but made due with a 28-300 when a condor showed up.

Bought a refurbished Nikon D850 for $1650 on Sept 25, 2024. It's not expensive and litterarily new and I think the image quality is still at the top among FF digital cameras DSLR or MLIC. Besides I love the Nikon Df I bought in 2013. The only thing I want more from it is more resolution and I get it with the D850.
I do not like the fact that the D850 is made in Thailand.

For Nikon the other choice is China.

The only Nikon camera that you can buy new that is made in Japan is the D6 and while they still sell them new I don't think they make them any more.

For the equivalent price of a kidney, I bought a used Leica S45mm lens.

Nice used MP from Japan to go with my 60 year old Elcan 90mm Summicron. Age difference doesn't seem to bother them.

Very Nice but if that lever doesn't push digital files into a memory card you may want to post here: what waS your last photography related purchase? In the analog section.

I knew I had the wrong spot. I do have a nice scanner, I suppose I could scan the film. That old summicron works great on my M11.

Last month, I picked up a Pentax K-1 II along with a Pentax D-FA* 50mm f1.4 lens. It's the first new DSLR that I've bought for myself since about 2008-ish, when I bought a Canon 40D. So far, I'm impressed with the capabilities of this new combo.

Never mind the photography stuff…where are you getting kidneys that cheap?

My latest was finally dragging the Phase One kit into the CMOS era with a used IQ3-100 Trichromatic back…and I am planning on selling my IQ1-80, Phase One DF and 80mm f2.8 LS SK as a kit to some lucky person for well under the going rate for kidneys.
